host: hurricane sandy -- does that help or hurt the president? people are complaining that the response has not been quick enough. guest: it helped the president a little bit. the cake is still baking. there are not a lot of undecided voters. i do not think it changed anything. host: rick is on the line from massachusetts on the independent line. good morning. caller: i think all polls are an absolute joke. the questions posed are going to be toward the end of achieving the goal of the pollster. it depends on how the question is asked. the answer can be spun in the way he wants. the university of boulder has actual numbers as opposed to opinion. i do not give my opinion to the pollsters because i do not know how they are going to skew them. host: can you give us your opinion? who you think is going to win? caller: i believe it is going to be mitt romney. all the jobs the president wants to create are taxpayer funded. and the $1.30 trillion deficit. host: who you vote for in 2008? caller: i voted for john mccain. guest: there is a difference betwe

john first and foremost tell us how you're faring these days after hurricane sandy. >> slowly but surely picking up and moving along moving forward. it's really bad. and the past couple days the rescue efforts and volunteers and the red cross they've all been amazing. it started slow but they've all been around now and i think everybody is real appreciative and just the amount of work that they're doing on behalf of the community. i really wanted to talk about new york 11 which is a district that has a crook rating of r plus four. what is interesting is i think polls have shone that the incumbent congressman who is a freshman has like between a 7 to 11 point lead. and what's interesting is this storm has really disrupted a lot of the republican areas of this particular congressional district. and it's going to be interesting to see how many of these people who reside in this area, whether or not they're able to come out and vote due to the fact that obviously voting is probably not the number one thing on their mind. a lot of the democratic -- i hate to put it this way but a lot of the d

remember some other republican narrative is going to be sandy is what made a difference. why? because you saw this enormous public embrace of the idea of bipartisanship at a time of great stress in the country. the bromance between obama and chris christie was kind of like a cross between "i spy" and laurel and hardy. you have got that, and you had run the talking about how i will reach out, i will find common ground. obama calls in and says we need a common ground. i need you to be my emissary to congressional republicans and get them to go along with the simpson-bowles grand bargain. at the same time, while congressional republicans are not wanting to support governor romney, and remember when paul ryan after the 2010 elections, he was an icon for them, came back to the freshmen and said we cannot do the budget cuts we promised you right now. they threw him out of the room. they are not to be eager to do that. you can gain significant leverage by moving in that direction, and it would not surprise me that obama has a couple of cards up his sleeve to turn the bully pulpit int
